I draw a lot- during the school year. But now that I am out of school I have lost all artistic inspiration, or if I do get inspiration, I can't express it how I want to. If I look at someone elses artwork and I'm kind of inspired by it I will try to draw something but then kind of just give up because I don't have a real idea of what to draw.

Whenever I watch videos of people doing things then i get inspiration for it ;3 well sorta. An example is when i used to make games, i would watch videos of people developing them and then I would want to do it again, because after going for days and days doing it I end up thinking about it and thinking it's useless. The same thing is with life right now, i can't really find a purpose but then i think of the few people that might care and then i watch some movies and forget about it. it's not really the same but i would suggest watching some videos

Violets are crying
I'm in the hospital
They say I'm dying

I usually try and make multiple small sketches of something I want to draw. If I want to draw a character, I'll put them in random poses or situation or change their expressions until I find something I want to continue doing. If you only spend 5-15 minutes on each it is good practice and will give you a good base to start with once you work on a full drawing.

Maybe it is time to find new sources of inspiration. New artists, new kinds of music, and so on. At some point, you may be "running in circles" and need fresh ways to see life.

I don't think you should bother much about "being original". It doesn't matter. "Everything has already been done" in a way or another. What counts is how you do it. How much of yourself you put in it. That's what will make your own work unique. If people can recognize your feelings and your personality in what you made, that's all what matters.

Usually when I'm out of ideas, I daydream while listening some music I like. Helps me greatly to get inspiration. Maybe you should just take a break and daydream with no other purpose than let your mind run on freewheel?

This probably doesn't work for everyone, but when I am trying to get inspired to write; I'll always cut myself off of other peoples work. I'll just spend time by myself, away from any electronics and receive inspiration from the world around me. I find it helps me write original ideas with inspiration taken from places that people don't use nearly enough anymore.
